ABOUT THE FAIR TRADE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM
The Fair Trade Internship Program at Dr. Bronner’s offers a dynamic summer experience where interns join a collaborative cohort, working closely with their managers while engaging with employees across the company. Throughout the program, interns will develop a meaningful project to present at its conclusion, gaining hands-on exposure to organic, fair trade, and ethical business practices. This full-time paid internship (40 hours per week) is based at Dr. Bronner’s headquarters in Vista, California, with company-provided shared housing and occasional evening or weekend work. Interns will earn an hourly wage of $30.29. Candidates must be able to commit to the full program duration of 8 weeks, from Monday, June 1, 2026, to Thursday, July 23, 2026, relocate for the summer at their own expense, and provide their own transportation.
